BOYCOTT MSNBC & NBC NEWS & Unethical Journalism

The Issue

MSNBC & NBC News have continuously reported SuperDelegates when reporting on the election. Yet NOT ONE SINGLE SuperDelegate has voted - or is ALLOWED to vote - until the Convention.

The CONVENTION decides the nominee.  And it WILL do so this year with a CONTEST in Philadelphia.  NO ONE is nominated BEFORE the formal official vote of the Convention.

Yet today - in an OVERT act of CAMPAIGN SUPPORT and absolutely not an act of ETHICAL JOURNALISM - MSNBC and NBC News - IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE THE VOTE IN CALIFORNIA and in an OVERT act of SUPPORT for one candidate and a VIEW that it is THEIR ROLE to INFLUENCE elections - they have declared that Hillary Clinton IS the Nominee. (Even if qualified as "presumptive.")  Yet when they say "clinched" or this is a "historic moment" - they IGNORE even their own misleading "presumptive" qualification - and report this AS IF IT WERE A FACT.

Its time the American LEFT united (not united a party that ignores and laughs at them), ROSE UP, and had its VOICE heard and its POWER felt.

While we prepare for our FIGHT in Philly - its time to SEND A MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR to the American media.

We will not tolerate your clear bias, influence, and spin - we demand HIGH QUALITY and ETHICAL journalism.

In order to make our demand heard and our power felt - we today declare that we will BOYCOTT MSNBC and NBC News.  We also declare the AP to have lost all its legitimacy - but there is no feasible/practical way to directly boycott that institution. Let our BOYCOTT of MSNBC/NBC News be reflective also of our CONDEMNATION of the actions of the AP.
